STP179 - The Mutiny Episode? - Skylab 4 50th Anniversary - with Dr. Teasel Muir-Harmony

February 8th 1974 marked the end of the crewed missions to Skylab, America's first space station. To celebrate this 50th anniversary we take a look at that mission and the legacy of Skylab. We're helped to do this by Dr. Teasel Muir-Harmony, curator of the Apollo Collection at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum.
